Crochet Chain Link

 Stash Buster 7

When I saw this necklace I wanted to make it right away. I really, really love the simple form and the large links. I don't wear jewelry very often because of my job (OR nurse), but I can see myself wearing this when I'm on vacation, wearing it with a V neck of some kind. 

You don't need very much yarn for this project, so I can't say my stash is almost gone now, but all bits help.

    Very cute! I used to crochet but I never did anything like this. Mostly just dishcloths and scrubbies. I think this would look really nice with a low cut black shirt.

    I really like this crochet necklace, it's unique and interesting. I definitely would wear it with a scoop neck shirt or a turtle neck.

    What a fun necklace! I picked this as one of my features at this week's Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party.

    I just started learning to crochet. So far I've only made misshaped squares. :-) But once I get the hang of the stitches and getting them more even, I would definitely try this. I found your blog on the Blogger's Pit Stop.

      Took me years before I could crochet like this, so keep practicing! In the end it's becoming more and more easy and even designing your own projects isn't difficult anymore then. Thanks for your nice comment!

    That's brilliant. WAY back in the 80's I had a chunky blue plastic chain necklace that I loved and thought was just the coolest thing ever - I was a teenager throughout the 80's. This is similar but has such lovely texture that my 80's necklace just didn't have!

      I found this idea on Pinterest and when I saw it I thought about the eighties also, haha! I was also a teenager then!
      Thanks for your nice comment!

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Fisherman's Lamp

Image
This year we stayed in our own country to celebrate vacation once again, due to covid. We booked a couple of vacation houses in different places and went from one to another each week.  After two weeks in a vacation I always long to go home, because of all the ideas I come along while visiting other places. Sounds familiar, or is this just me? This year I saw fisherman's lamps at various places and after the first time I already knew I wanted to make one.  We came back a couple of days ago and I couldn't wait to start. Lots of laundry had to be done, but between loading my washing machine and folding wash after drying, I started with my lamp. Today I finished it! Very happy with the result! For now it will stay on the porch, because it gives it a summery vibe and it still is summer, isn't it? But in a couple of weeks I will start to decorate the porch for fall and then I will move the lamp to our bedroom. The bedroom is totally white, it will fit in perfectly. Pattern: mad

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

Image
 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c
